Let there Be Light!
Good lord, can this thing pack a punch, I used it outside to light a few branches and almost started the local forest on fire. How it works is easy, inside there is a cathrobe ray tube, when heated turns into phosphorus fibers and are propelled (with the touch of a button), to come out and into the vent shafts which you aim at a fire log or something you want to ignite. Be careful to not point it at small children or pets because they can light up like a Christmas tree.

Lighter Fluid Stinks!
We have been using the Weber Chimney starters for years and will NEVER go back to lighter fluid. The chimney starts charcoal everytime, even in damp or drizzly weather. Anyone who charcoal grills or bbq's should try this product!

This is the gold standard for chimney starters
I do a lot of outdoor cooking (grilling, Dutch ovens, and cast iron roasters) and I've never found a chimney starter that matches this one for price, quality, and efficiency. I have two right now and I've probably given away at least four to friends who didn't know about chimney starters. This is the only one I ever consider now.

Brilliant!
Works as advertised, built well, and made of robust materials. Just use a couple of pieces of newspaper (no oil or anything required) and you'll have nice ashy coals in about 15 min or so.

The gold standard in chimney starters
This is the absolute best way to get your grill going. Unlike the little chimneys sold at Lowe's, this holds a lot of charcoal, enough to fill an entire kettle grill, and the airflow through it is very efficient. Two sheets of newspaper and a match, and your briquettes will be ready to go in 10-15 minutes.

The aluminized finish on this resists heat and rust quite well. Other reviewers have commented on the helper handle, but the really key feature of this chiminey starter is the conical wire grid inside that holds up the charcoal. Unlike perforated metal plate inside the no-name chimeny starters, this wire grid lets all of the flame from the newspaper through to the charcoal, resulting in the charcoal lighting in half the time.

All of that, and it isn't any more expensive that the no-name brands. Bigger, faster, and more durable. What more could you ask for?
